We had an amazing stay and enjoyed our stay. Just a couple of things we noticed.. The inside of the house was as clean and they had everything stocked.. However the outside chairs were very dirty and should have been cleaned prior to our arrival. Secondly there is a flood light right outside the middle upstairs bedroom that we could not figure out how to turn it off..It was very bright coming in those windows..

The Lakehouse was beautiful and me and my family had a great time whether it was cooking out on the easy to use grill, kayaking on the lake right in the back yard or having a super cozy bonfire with smores. All without even leaving the house!! We will probably book again sometime in the near future! Also AvantStay was very quick and friendly responding to any concerns we may have had with the property!
